Our Fields of Expertise:

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Ashingdon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Ashingdon

Listed below are reviews and illustrations of fuel drains undertaken in Ashingdon:

No one likes conking out in a vehicle running on the improper fuel halfway down the street. Our last customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Volkswagen) in Ashingdon endured exactly that type of dilemma: "Obviously I wrongly filled my petrol car with diesel . I was so troubled about it that I was actually in tears. However I didn't need to worry since you were exceptional in sorting it out."

Vehicle Misfuel Ashingdon - Ashingdon Vehicle Misfuel

A customer from Ashingdon with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Audi had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She phoned us weeping and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

Wrong Fuel in Car Ashingdon - Ashingdon Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific evening hiking during my off day and felt contented with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Ashingdon. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Vauxhall, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her husband for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass continuously in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
